Appears to be a Toyopet SB, possibly modified for some specific purpose. For example, here is a nearly-identical SB that has been modified for use as an "Interactive Taxi":

Carnut

You're about there with that; it is a taxi version of the SB but I need to know its designation and builder for the point.
Locked for you!

Was the body produced by Araco/Arakawa Sheet Metal ?

Carnut

No, not by them.
Still locked.

You're just one letter away from its designation gte4289, and the builder is not difficult.
But it's been locked now for nearly 2 weeks so if you don't want to have another stab at it I'll have to open it up again soon...

OK, this is unlocked.
We've established that it is a taxi version of the Toyopet SB, so what is needed now is its full designation and its builder.

It's an SDX built by Kanto

Carnut

I'll take that as a typo barrett as we've already established that it's the taxi version of the SB (not the SD..) hence it's an SBX.
Kanto is right so it's your point.
Well done.
